Predictors of Mortality Within 6 Weeks After Treatment of Gastric Variceal Bleeding in Cirrhotic Patients
Acute gastric variceal bleeding (GVB) is a catastrophic problem and accounts for one of the major causes of death in cirrhotic patients. Although, N-butyl cyanoacrylate (NBC) has been shown to control bleeding effectively, it still carries up high mortality rate. This study aimed to find the predictors of mortality within 6 weeks after emergent endoscopic treatment with NBC injection. This retr...
متن کاملInfections in Acute Variceal Bleeding and Role of Antibiotics
Due to several defective in bacterial defense mechanisms, cirrhotic patients are susceptible to bacterial infections. The most common infections are spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (23-32%), urinary tract infection (10-41%), pneumonia (17-21%) and bacteremia (13-21%). Majority of infections involved in a single site (3) , gram negative bacteria especially Escherichia coli being the most commo...
متن کاملManagement of Acute Variceal Bleeding
Acute variceal bleeding could be a fatal complication in patients with liver cirrhosis. In patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis accompanied by ascites or hepatic encephalopathy, acute variceal bleeding is associated with a high mortality rate. Therefore, timely endoscopic hemostasis and prevention of relapse of bleeding are most important. The treatment goals for acute variceal bleeding ...
متن کاملTreatment of acute variceal bleeding.
UNLABELLED The management of variceal bleeding remains a clinical challenge with a high mortality. Standardisation in supportive and new therapeutic treatments seems to have improved survival within the last 25 years. Although overall survival has improved in recent years, mortality is still closely related to failure to control initial bleeding or early re-bleeding occurring in up to 30-40% of...
متن کاملTreatment of acute variceal bleeding
Acute variceal bleeding is a life-threatening complication in patients with portal hypertension. Although overall survival may be improving, mortality is still closely related to failure to control hemorrhage or early re-bleeding. Factors that influence this failure include severity of liver disease and active bleeding during endoscopy. In addition increased portal pressure has been proposed as...
